Being the best in your field means staying on top of the latest developments in technology. But as a working professional, it’s tough to complete an entire degree on top of a full-time job. Refresh your knowledge and advance your career with KU’s RF Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate. This graduate level certificate is conveniently offered remotely on the Garmin campus with the same structure and instruction as the traditional on-campus program.

You will learn:

• Applications of signal processing for filtering, estimating, and detecting signals in a high-interference environment.
• Design and operation of microwave systems, including receiver and transmitter architecture, as well as antenna performance and function.
• Theory and application of transmitting digital information via electromagnetic propagation.
• Function of microwave components and transmission line theory.
• Propagation of both bounded and unbounded electromagnetic waves.

Curriculum

All courses are delivered in real-time using HD teleconferencing equipment available in Learned Hall 3150 at the KU Lawrence campus, and at Garmin. Garmin staff handle logistics, deliver course materials, and proctor tests.

To earn the RF Systems graduate certificate students must complete four (4) of the following courses:

Core courses (required):

EECS 622: Microwave and Radio Transmissions Systems (Fall)

EECS 721: Antennas (Spring)

EECS 723: Microwave Engineering (Spring)

Elective courses (choose one):

EECS 713: High-Speed Digital Circuit Design

EECS 725: Introduction to Radar Systems

EECS 823: Microwave Remote Sensing

*Students interested in the RF Systems graduate certificate might also be interested in a full Master’s degree. Please contact the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department if you are interested in pursuing a full Master’s degree to understand the variety of options.
